Democrats Represent what?

What do modern day Democrats stand for? They seem to oppose all of what people want, which is financial security, safety, boarder protection, and world prestige. I can see it now, Democrats will run on hating Trump, throwing away crumps on silver plates, and bringing down big business for socialism. That's it, Democrats need a proletariat dictator to run from President. I know, the best candidate may be a college professor hoping to prove Marx right. Bring down those Wall Street Capitalist PIGS, and throw out the foul "soup of inequality." Bring down those upstarts who think they may be better than the rest of us! Yes, it is time for a "Proletariat Revolution." Who are the best candidates?

What people exactly? Given that Trump lost the popular vote.

which is financial security,

Odd, My retirement (a State run 401k) made about $60,000 in 2016-17. Yet in 2018 (1st quarter) I only made about $600. Please explain how, I have 'financial security'?

safety

Safety form what exactly? Safety from the Russians does not appear to have been increasd, nor has safety from North Korea.

boarder protection

I have never felt threatened by border security anyway. Being in Oregon, do you fell threatened by people from Central and South America, or Asia?

world prestige.

The world is laughing at the US more then ever.

Kinda like a Sociologist, like yourself?

It would be better if we didn't make personal attacks. You think you know a lot about me, but you really don't.

I prefer to discuss issues. So, if you invested in the market last year, you would have made a good return inasmuch as the market has soared since Trump has been in office. It all depends on how you invest. I have a big investment in a mutual fund that has increased 13.7%. As for boarder security, let's discuss the nation, not me or you. As a nation, border security is necessary, otherwise, we would not have a nation. I recall Obama not giving it a lot of consideration. Being a Marxist, he wanted some kind of open boarders, let the rich give to poor in every nation!

As for safety, you need to live in the real world to know what has happened when nations threaten one another. I suppose you have forgot about WWII. Then, there was the cold war. Well, if you live in Disney land, there are no threats. If you are an altruistic kind, or dedicated communist, you would turn everything over to the government for distribution. Darn, I don't have a good reputation with communists. I suppose I would be imprisoned or killed. It is what Stalin did when he became the communist dictator of the USSR. Oh, I forgot, Marxists have revised history. Lenin and Stalin were truly Saints. And those 65 million people murdered by Chinese communists paid a necessary price for Marx's utopian world. Boy, I am sure happy to be living in a capitalist nation. Marxists are really stupid. Don't you agree? Oh, maybe you don't!

Oh, yes, rogue nations with atomic weapons is not a threat. We live in a new world where everyone is safe. If we have problems, socialists will come to our rescue. Ha. ha.

I hate to inform you, but it is 2018 and not 1950. The terms you are using are rather archaic.

I understand that your wife makes you sleep in the basement. But, that is no reason for you to be, well, rather out of touch with reality.

Re: Democrats Represent what?

I did, and no where to I see a "personal attack" against you!
Now, I did make a "personal attack" against you in Post #5. However that was after your claim of a "personal attack".

Can you clarify?

Re: Democrats Represent what?

You've made that claim numerous times. And, I have always replied, "no problem".

I have a meeting, as a guest, at the Burke Museum next month for a discussion on Arachnology & Entomology.
Care to attend?

EDIT
The discussion is about 'spiders', pertaining to (Arachnology), which I have little interest in.
But, I'm sure many of the guests would like to hear you views on 'social' interactions.
Not that, you would have any idea about the 'social' interactions of spiders, anymore then I would.

We would both be out of our fields.

Let us be civil, then, there is no issue. I don't want to meet with you, I have a lot to do, and I am lazy, don't want to travel.
I do, however, have an issue with Marx, and I don't think anyone can dispute my criticism. Capitalism works, Marxism fails!
